Specializes in General Practice

Osteopath: Female concerned for "SIJ & spine" disorder also reports "joint pain, ankle sprain & patella subluxation". This symptom constellation suggests Hypermobility Syndrome, HS. Medications suggest joint injection therapy. Fluoroscopic guided diagnostic block is "gold standard" SIJ diagnostic study. Osteopaths are expert; Physiatrists should know how to diagnose SIJ vs. spine disorder & recognize HS.
